I've spotted a useful sized dual basketball court site in South Park, not far from Parsons Green, Putney Bridge..  its never locked and is only used daytimes by the local school.. the surface is good and consistent.

If we're into it i'll take some pics and post them

let me know...

Hi Matty,

Do you know if it is lit up at all in the evenings?

(even if I know it's maybe asking for too much... Razz )

there are flood lights, but i'm sure they're not in use, I could ask the park staff but that may just attract a bunch of attention and possible cost that we may not incur if we just rock up and use it, all "casual" like....

(just for completeness sake, this is right close to where I do my day job)..

Nice find.

Quite prepared to pay a reasonable charge for using night lighting if it means we have guaranteed exclusive use. I might even turn up as it is more west Smile and flat Very Happy

Could do with a recce to check its suitability as a venue, both in terms of using it and getting to/from it for those likely to go.

This sounds good to me as well - a lit outdoor location would be useful in the winter
